Recruitment heritage

Reed began as a company in May 1960, when Alec Reed opened his first branch in Hounslow, West London. From these early beginnings, Reed has grown organically into a business with over 300 offices and over 3,000 employees.

Reed now offers HR and recruitment services to businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to large blue chip organisations. And with over 46 years of recruitment experience, Reed will continue to grow and offer solutions tailored to the needs of its clients.

Specialist recruitment

Reed was the first recruitment company to offer specialist recruitment services, beginning with the creation of Reed Accountancy in the early 1960s.

Since then, Reed has continued to tailor its recruitment services, with 24 individual business specialisms offering recruitment solutions in distinct industry sectors.
